A second offer, a third, and more im spirited bidding. Then going, going, gone for £560 to Gabriel Wells of New York,
The manuscript was written more than a quarter century ago and its inspiration goes hack another ten years or so. Barrie, son of a Scottish weaver, journal at, novelist and then a rising playwright, liked to watch the children at play in London’s Kensington Gardens. He helped them with make-believe pirates and underground deny. They knew him as “the little man with the black moustache.” One little girl called him “friendly”—only she lisped “wendy.”

McMillan was fined for peddling without a llcetise. He sent a five-shilling postal order to cover the fine, but the court at Oban refused to accept It, insisting that McMillan should be present in Court.
“I had no money so I had to walk night and day to get there,” he said. The court gave him two shillings, six pence change.

The reticulated python or rice snake of the East grows to a very large size, and its skin is not only beautiful but tremendously tough and long wearing. Next in point of popularity is the skin of the great water python of South America called the anaconda. This is the largest snake in the world, growing to a length of sixty feet or move.

Crowned at Bath
In the early days all the Anglo-Saxon kings were crowned at Winchester, the capital of Wessex King Ethelwulf, however, sent the five-year old Harold to Rome, where he was consecrated king by Pope Leo. He was crowned again at Winchester.
It is not known for certain, says a writer in London Tit-Bits Magazine, | where Edward, Alfred’s eldest surviving
writers pHHIHHHHHHH
others “at Saynt Poules, London Athclntan, the limt king to call himself “King of the English,” was crowned in 925 at Kingston. But King Edgar chose Bath, then known as Àchcman s-choster, for his coronation, which took place in 973. Although Edward the Confessor was himself crowned at Winchester, he obtained a rescript from Pope Nicholas II, which said that all future kings of England must be crowned at Westminster Abbey. Wiliiarn the Conqueror and all the succeeding monarchs have, therefore, held their coronation ceremony in London's Abbey.

Crowning of English Kings
No English king has been crowned in December since 1154, when Henry II was hallowed on the nineteenth. William the Conqueror was crowned on Christmas day, and Stephen on December 26, 1135 September saw the coronations of William II, Richard I, George HI and William IV. Sovereigns crowned In February have been Edward II. Edward III, Edward IV and Charles I. The latter unfortunate monarch, in honor of Candlemas, wore a white velvet robe instead of the usual purple or rod, and according to re ords, his white attire chilled the \-»st Abbey assemblage.

Robin llood Story
There is probably not any truth in the story of Robin Hood, observes a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, inasmuch as very similar tales are found in Germany and Scandinavia and appear to be purl of the common heritage of all these related northern peoples Micro is, at any rate, no proof uf Robin Hoed’.: existence, although the explo ts of some local hero may have been the center around which the Robin Hood tales crystalizcd Some authorities think he represents simply the remnant ot the old Saxon race, living in perpetual defiance of he Norman conquerors.

Battleships Are First
Built With Blueprints
Long before the first keel plate of a warship is laid, the vessel has already cost the taxpayer many hundreds of pounds—in blueprints, declares a writer in Pearson’s London Weekly. The actual first steps in making n battleship are taken several years before the shipyard workers come into the picture, when complicated charts and blueprints—in some cases as many ns 1,209 have To be drawn—ore prepared.
Apart from the lirst originals, dozens of sets of blueprints must also be drawn up, ranging in size from a square foot of paper to a sheet : 1 feet long, and 3 feet wide.
While this is being done, long and complicated schedules for material are prepared, from which the necessary metal and fittings are ordered.
Some idea of the detail involved :s shown by the care given to such ’rifles as canvas gun covers. When these are ordered the specification gives the number of stitches per inch of canvas, and this must be strictly followed. If there is any variation when official inspectors examine the cloth, it will be returned to the makers.
All through the year» of building, new plans are constantly being made to include any modifications or alterations to the originals, so that by the time the warship takes the water, every ounce of material in her is included in the filed plans. Then, should any replacements ever he required, the material for effecting repairs can be ordered within t few hours’ notice.

Weather Men Grade Winds
According to the Force
Technically speaking, winds are graded according to their force. | ‘ Strong*’ if the term fur any wind of thirty miles an hour. Fifty ir.ilu» is the speed at which gales hov.l. After seventy-five miles an hour they become hurricanes and wind falling betweejH known as a “whole gale "
The fastest “straight hurricane ever measured was one at Mount Washington, New Hampshire, which reached the tremendous speed of 231 miles ah hour, though explorers say that in Central Asia winds exceed even that velocity, observes a writer in London Answers Magazine.
Tornadoes, typhoons, clones are something apart. Unless actually caught up by one a person has absolutely no conception how
demoralizing they can be, for they are more devastating than any catastrophe except an earthquake. It is queer, incidentally, that more often than not earthquakes are accompanied by tornadoes.
Those who have watched them say that tornadoes start when two enormous banks of clouds traveling in opposite directions come together. A violent whirl begins at cloud level and rapidly works down to earth. The speed at which the internal whirling currents move is estimated to be anything from 300 to 100 miles an hour.

country called Canada is a real country, and that the name 'Canadian" borne by lie people la not a term merely of convenience.
Haven't you noticed it, too, thia new npirit which has Just begun to be felt within the past year or so, the last couple of months? A groat many factors are contributing to its growth, not the least of which Is the deplorable state of affairs in many foreign countries. By contrast we feel ourselves extremely lucky, draw closer to to one another within our own borders, are prouder to call ourselves "Ca nadians."
Editor Dafoe expresses the hope that our whole Canadian system may be strengthened and vitalized by the new spirit instead of torn asunder by aectionallst agitation In thia and that j part of the country.
in the old days, so they tell us, history moved more slowly, at such a leisurely rate, in fact, that people could sit back and speculate a while about each event after it happened. In those times we are allowed no such privilege. Terrifying things occur in a great many parts of the world simultaneously, nation-wide movements surge up and threaten to engulf us whenever we pause to take thought. Dr. Alexis Carrel, world-famed medical scientist, says the reason for this state of affaire is that man's control over matter and over his own mind has not kept pace with the me-dealing warm water along the coasts. | chaniiatton of the age. Machines have
gone ahead. Man has stayed behind until now things are happening too swiftly for him.
Whore does it ell end? If we wish to turn aside the sure and fearful fate awaiting our present-day civilization, we shall have to become once mbre, masters of our own destinies.

A NEW SPIRIT
There’s something going on In Canada which belles the separatist attitude shown by the Premiers of Ontario and Quebec, and that Is, according to John W. Dafoe, editor of the Winnipeg Free Press, "a national Integration, the extent and strength of which is not yet known." Following this strengthening of the popular will, he continued, it will be found that the

a task from which many a grown man would have shrunk. A lift in a building had been halted between the ground and first floors as the explosion cut off power. Blood streamed from the cage, the door of which had been partially opened by some injured person before death had intervened. A ladder was run up to the cage, but the opening was too small for an adult. A Scout went up, hesitated before what he saw, then threw down a pith helmet filled with blood, and performed the gruesome task of removing the dead. x
An early morning bombing raid, raining deaah on Per-hsin-ching village for twenty minutes was another scene described in which Boy ScouCa, police and other workers rushed to rescue the wounded. The destruction covered a wide area, and up to a late hour scores of volunteers were still busily engaged in extricating bod es pinned beneath, the debris.
Simultaneously, bombing was going on in Chowkachiao in the Jessfield district, and many civilians were killed. Shortly after the raid every available fireman, policeman and Boy

Father of the Roses”

Gul • Baba, the Turkish holy man, is still revered by Mohammedans who travel long distances to visit his grove on the Rozsadomb (Rose Hiil). He had become a legendary figure for his efforts to save the Hungarians in the ark* t tor ill 1 cruel times of the Turkish rule and
was also known as “the father of the roses,” having made a bower of roses out of his house and garden, which gave the quarter its name of Rose Hill. He is believed to have

Dippers, Sniffers, Have
Own Way of Using Snuff
SnufTtakers are not all foreign-born. Nor are they old. Nor are they all men. Some of them are sniffers and some are dippers. And dippers consider sniffers very low people, and vice verso, asserts a writer in the Detroit Free Press.
Dippers believe that snuff can be enjoyed properly only when it is placed between the lower lip and the gum. The snuff thus employed is mainly the semiperishable kind.
Dipping is the favorite method of the Swedes, Danes, Norwegians and Finns, who refer to snuff as “snoos.” Both the method and the name have been adopted widely by factory workers who thus satisfy an appetite for tobacco in places where smoking is forbidden. •
There is a subdivision cf dipping (also considered low by orthodox dippers) in which a chewed twig of dogwood or sweetgum is dipped into the snuff and then placed into the mouth.
It is among the sniffers that one finds the most varying tastes and the most ardent adherence to traditions. Sniffers either take it in the method that was fashionable in the Victorian era; that is, a tiny pinch introduced into the nostril be tween thumb and forefinger and sniffed up with sharp inhalations, or by the more masculine method of inhaling a man-sized heap from near the base of the thumb with snort-like intake.

Strange Vinegar Bill
Vinegar provides the story of perhaps the strangest bill ever paid. This bill was suctioned in London recently, among a mass of historical documents. It was a 52,000 pound i f account paid in 1639 by Louis XIII ! of France for “vinegar to cool his : Majesty’s cannon,” relates London Answers Magazine. That was a "rude sort of vinegar little else but j sour beer. Brewers sold it off cheap, fust as butchers sell off scraps of meat. But thousands of men were unable to afford anything else. In the reign of Henry the Eighth some London laborers went on strike until they were granted an extra penny a day for a “noon’s quench' of vinegar beer.

A Table-Setting Ceremony
Fcr full state banquets at Buckingham palace, the famous crown dining service of solid gold—each plate is said to be worth $2,000—is brought from the strong-room in Windsor castle, says Michael Mac-Donagh in “The English King.” The laying of the royal table is a ceremony in itself. First come the “upholsterers,” whose duty it is to see that the table is well and truly placed in the room, and is in a fit condition to bear its precious and heavy appointments. Next come the “table deckers” who lay the snowy napery, the knives and forks and spoons and the drinking glasses. The napkins are never twisted into fanciful shapes, being always plainly folded. The Yeomen of the Gold and Silver Pantries then arrange the gold and silver appointments. And, finally, other “deckers” adorn the table with flowers and trailing greenery. Fingerbowls ore never
seen ct the rcyal table.

U. S. Flag at Fort McHenry
The flag which flies ot Fort McHenry, where “The Star-spangled Banner” was written by Francis Scott Key, is raised and lowered according to regular governmental regulations; that is, it is raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset, says the superintendent of the Fort McHenry National park. The flag at Fort McHenry floats from a pole which is located as near the site of the flagpole of 1814 as can be determined.
